True! I consider my current job (my first as a tech writer) ideal right now
because I'm making precisely twice as much as I did before I went back to
school (I was a word processor then), nobody yells at me, the work is really
*not* any harder for me, I love to write, and I get a little frisson of joy every time
RoboHelp compiles properly. In five years, my ideal job will almost certainly be
different, as both I and my employers become more demanding!
